Supermodel Karlie Kloss has yet to meet a pair of sneakers she doesn't like. She's worn the functional footwear in just about every style on the market, from Yeezy high-tops to designer trainers. But Karlie's not just rocking her flats with leggings and a parka on the street. She considers them for red carpet events [1] just as she would a pair of heels, confirming that sneakers are appropriate for any event. You could shrug us off: "Psh, she's a model standing tall at 6'1. No wonder sneakers don't make her legs look stumpy."
Karlie, who made Time's 100 Most Influential People list in 2016 [2] as an icon, knows just which dresses call for low-tops [3] and just the right pant silhouette to pair with platforms. Read on for a few styling hacks straight from Ms. Kloss. We could all benefit from a few of these tips during this feel-good time of the year.
